Since $(objtree) is always '.', it is not useful to pass it to
scripts/mkmakefile. I assume nobody wants to run this script directly.

The --include-dir flag is used to include check-in Makefiles from
$(objtree) without $(srctree)/ prefix. Obviously, this is unneeded
for in-tree build. Add the flag just before changing the working
directory.
This becomes effective after invoking sub-make. Add a little bit
comments about it.

Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs
in GCC's inlining decisions.
Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files.
Currently only x86 will use it.
Background:
The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware
of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes,
or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data
due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ...
Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of
certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source
code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute
for "code size and complexity".
Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain
common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent
practice of putting useful information into alternative sections.
As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions
are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm()
blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in
reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine
instructions.
This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm()
blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance
overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make
frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the
way when running on baremetal hardware.
Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro
and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the
inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.)
This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount
related changes have this impact:
Makefile | 9 +++++++--
arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++
arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++
scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++-
scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++
5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read
and maintain ...
We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding
our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

When using a GCC cross toolchain which is not in a compiled in
Clang search path, Clang reverts to the system assembler and
linker. This leads to assembler or linker errors, depending on
which tool is first used for a given architecture.
It seems that Clang is not searching $PATH for a matching
assembler or linker.
Make sure that Clang picks up the correct assembler or linker by
passing the cross compilers bin directory as search path.
This allows to use Clang provided by distributions with GCC
toolchains not in /usr/bin.

As a Kernel developer, I make heavy use of "make targz-pkg" in order
to locally compile and remotely install my development Kernels. The
nice feature I rely on is that after a normal "make", "make targz-pkg"
only generates the tarball without having to recompile everything.
That was true until commit f28bc3c32c ("tracing: Handle
CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately"). After it, running "make targz-pkg"
after "make" will recompile the whole Kernel tree, making my
development workflow much slower.
The Kernel is choosing to recompile everything because it claims the
command line has changed. A diff of the .cmd files show a repeated
-mfentry in one of the files. That is because "make targz-pkg" calls
"make modules_install" and the environment is already populated with
the exported variables, CC_FLAGS_FTRACE being one of them. Then,
-mfentry gets duplicated because it is not protected behind an ifndef
block, like -pg.
To complicate the problem a little bit more, architectures can define
their own version CC_FLAGS_FTRACE, so our code not only has to
consider recursive Makefiles, but also architecture overrides.
So in this patch we move CC_FLAGS_FTRACE up and unconditionally
define it to -pg. Then we let the architecture Makefiles possibly
override it, and finally append the extra options later. This ensures
the variable is always fully redefined at each invocation so recursive
Makefiles don't keep appending, and hopefully it maintains the
intended behavior on how architectures can override the defaults..
Thanks Steven Rostedt and Vasily Gorbik for the help on this
regression.

If the kernel headers aren't installed we can't build all the tests.
Add a new make target rule 'khdr' in the file lib.mk to generate the
kernel headers and that gets include for every test-dir Makefile that
includes lib.mk If the testdir in turn have its own sub-dirs the
top_srcdir needs to be set to the linux-rootdir to be able to generate
the kernel headers.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Correct the L1TF fallout on 32bit and the off by one in the 'too much
RAM for protection' calculation.
- Add a helpful kernel message for the 'too much RAM' case
- Unbreak the VDSO in case that the compiler desides to use indirect
jumps/calls and emits retpolines which cannot be resolved because the
kernel uses its own thunks, which does not work for the VDSO. Make it
use the builtin thunks.
- Re-export start_thread() which was unexported when the 32/64bit
implementation was unified. start_thread() is required by modular
binfmt handlers.
- Trivial cleanups

Commit a0f97e06a4 ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add

Commit 222d394d30 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.
Commit 06c5040cdb ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.
For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.
I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers
This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot
of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.
He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just
get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the
original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well
as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are
limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow
them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe
SRCU API.
- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
- Addition of mcount-nop option support
- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.
- Various other fixes and clean ups.
- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before
the merge window opened.
